Two WDM signals at the wavelength of 1 549.3 nm and 1 550.9 nm are respectively converted simultaneously with a maximum wavelength shift of 6.4 nm for the first time. High nondegeneration FWM is observed for a detuning range over 3 THz. This scheme has better conversion efficiency than that of conventional single semiconductor optical amplifier converter.展开更多

The study shows that the slot width and the position of Er3+ in slot structure have a significant effect on the SE. The double slot waveguides were fabricated by embedding two low-index Er/Yb silicate material layers into high-index silicon. The radiative efficiency of Er3+ in the double slot waveguides is found to be higher than that of the single slot waveguide, which is consistent with the theory simulation. The 0.67 d B signal enhancement at 1.53 ?m in a 4.6-mm-long slot waveguide was observed pumped by 1476 nm laser. These results show the relevance of our model to study the SE processes in multilayer structures and are important for future realization of silicon-compatible active optical devices.展开更多

Anoisy SOA dynamic model and PIN equyalent circuit function are employed for system evaluating.

The shape of sampling window can be adjusted by SOA bias current and amplitude of control pulse.
